First details on new Earthworm Jim game (Wii)

Interplay has revealed that it is partnering with franchise creator Doug TenNapel to work on a new Earthwork Jim game, TV series and film.

Other than the tentative title of Earthworm Jim 4, no other details have been confirmed. TenNapel will serve as a creative consultant on all of the projects.

Earlier in the month, Earthworm Jim was one of a number of IPs owned by Interplay that were flagged up as getting the revival treatment.

Yesterday, Interplay revealed that the original two titles would be available through Nintendo Virtual Console in the not-so-distant future.

We thought it was cats that had nine lives, but apparently earthworms have a healthy stock, too.
